High-Quality Protection for Motocross Riders: elbow protections

Alpinestars® motocross elbow guards are crafted to provide riders with robust protection and maximum comfort. Designed specifically for high-impact conditions, these guards offer enhanced safety during every ride. The outer shell is built from durable materials that shield your elbows and forearms from abrasions, impacts, and collisions, providing a reliable barrier against injury.

Advanced Materials for Comfort and Safety

Incorporating advanced technology, Alpinestars® elbow guards feature materials like molecular foam, which remains flexible during normal wear but hardens upon impact, providing superior shock absorption. For enhanced comfort, these elbow pads also include ventilation systems that keep the arms cool and dry during intense rides, ensuring riders stay comfortable without compromising protection.

Versatile Designs for Every Rider’s Needs

Our collection offers various styles, including slim-fit slide-on sleeves for unobtrusive wear and adjustable strap-on guards for a more secure fit. Each style prioritizes ergonomic design, ensuring that the guards stay in place without restricting movement. For those seeking full-body coverage, our MX elbow pads pair seamlessly with knee protections and MX helmets, allowing you to create a comprehensive protection system.

Uncompromising Protection for All Terrains

Alpinestars® motocross elbow protection is built to withstand the demands of off-road racing and high-impact sports. Whether navigating technical trails or high-speed tracks, our guards provide both seasoned riders and newcomers with the peace of mind they need to push their limits safely. Invest in quality gear designed to support you through every jump, turn, and unexpected impact on the motocross track.
Frequently asked questions Hide FAQs
What types of elbow protection are available in the Alpinestars motocross collection?

The Alpinestars motocross elbow protection collection includes hard-shell elbow guards, soft armor sleeves, and integrated protection systems. Hard-shell guards feature impact-resistant outer shells with CE-certified armor inserts, ideal for aggressive riding and racing. Soft armor options provide low-profile protection that fits under jerseys. Many designs incorporate ventilated construction, adjustable straps, and moisture-wicking materials to maintain comfort during extended moto sessions.
Are Alpinestars MX elbow guards CE-certified?

Yes, Alpinestars motocross elbow protectors meet CE certification standards where applicable. Products feature CE Level 1 or Level 2 certified armor depending on the model, ensuring they pass rigorous impact absorption and abrasion resistance testing. CE certification validates that the protection meets European safety standards for motorcycle protective equipment, providing riders with independently tested and verified impact protection.
How should motocross elbow guards fit?

Proper fit is critical for effective protection. MX elbow guards should sit centered over the elbow joint without restricting arm movement or circulation. The protection should remain in position during riding without excessive shifting or rotation. Most Alpinestars elbow guards feature adjustable hook-and-loop straps or elastic sleeves to accommodate different arm sizes and riding gear combinations. The guards should feel secure but not uncomfortably tight, allowing full range of motion for throttle, clutch, and brake control.
Can I wear elbow guards under or over my MX jersey?

This depends on the guard design. Hard-shell elbow guards are typically worn over the jersey for maximum impact protection and easier adjustment during riding. Soft armor and sleeve-style protectors are designed to be worn under jerseys for a streamlined fit and reduced wind resistance. Some riders prefer the over-jersey approach for better ventilation and easier removal between motos, while under-jersey wear provides a cleaner aesthetic and prevents snagging. Consider your riding discipline, climate conditions, and personal preference when choosing your setup.
How do I clean and maintain motocross elbow protection?

Regular cleaning extends the life of your elbow guards and maintains hygiene. Remove any detachable armor inserts before washing. Hand wash guards in cold water with mild detergent, or machine wash on a gentle cycle if the manufacturer allows. Avoid hot water, bleach, and fabric softeners which can degrade materials and protective components. Air dry completely away from direct heat sources—never use a dryer as high temperatures can compromise armor integrity and elastic components. Inspect straps, stitching, and armor regularly for wear or damage, replacing guards when protection shows signs of deterioration.
